Ate dinner last night at a place called Sackett's Table in Seneca Falls, NY. Delicious scratch cooking. I had grilled octopus for an appetizer and sausage bolognese over tagliatelle.

Tonight I braised some nice thick bone in pork chops in a homemade marinara.

That octopus looks fantastic!

You can tell you forced yourself not to finish your beer before the main course.

Little veggie stir fry here with some teriyaki chicken and rice...

This was a great one, some poppers and quesadillas. We had some leftover bbq some made the dillas with rib meat and burnt ends. They were phenomenal, especially the rib ones. Jarlsberg cheese too, been thinking about it ever since lol

I've been converted to thighs in the last few years, it's my main chicken these days.

That looks delicious !

There are some good looking meals here!

In @GregManning post I see a regiment of bottled sauces.

That got me thinking. Sometimes making from scratch makes sense. But then I'm faced with buying the ingredients in such large packages when I only need small quantities. By the time I go back to make more the raw ingredients have gone bad. That kind of shuffles me to by off the shelf. A dilemma.

The fish sauce is what got me thinking. Simple recipes but it might be easier to just buy whole.

For those of you who do cook a lot what's your strategy?

PS Does someone have a fav fish sauce recipe or bottled brand?

Red Boat is by far the best I've tried.
I have dumped many others down the drain.
My Walmart carries a very good variety: Red Boat Fish Sauce, 40 °

There are "better" varieties of Red Boat, but this is very good. Lasts a long time in fridg.

Thanks @GregManning I'm on the hunt.

Thanks @GregManning I'm on the hunt.

I dump a little Red Boat Fish Sauce into many soups, stews, sauces, etc.; it adds a tremendous amount of umami; vast majority of people only know it tastes good; will not know it contains anchovies !

And a few clicks later I find it at an Asian grocery store next to Harbor Freight.

Thanks!

Soy / Tarmari Sauces: "San-J Tamari" is by far my favorite for flavor !

When I've making large (6 lb) batches of jerky I will cut back $, & use Kikoman Soy 15 oz.
